Now that's gorgeous

Dang, that's nice. I still have a little bit to decide exactly what truck to use

That is a jewel! Take it!

Ooh, I definitely like that one

Honestly, I really do like the way this truck is set up. It's just perfect. I might use a little bit of the design.

I don't want to put a huge engine in it. I'd rather have a smaller engine that I can tune up. It'll be lighter weight and easier on gas for everyday use. Any crate engines or rebuilt engines (Ford or some other aftermarket company) that you guys would suggest? I'm looking at 4 or 6 cylinders...

I like the look of those trucks, and I am planning on replacing the rear fenders with something more minimal. But I would also like to do that with the front fenders, too. I'd ditch the fenders completely if Pennsylvania didn't require the wheel tread to be covered.

I was raised all Ford. I won't tarnish a nice Ford with anything else. Especially not Chevy. I'm contemplating going Mustang II for the front end. Does anybody know if 4-link in the rear is street legal? And I'd like to know about any reasonably priced Ford V6 engines.

I would like to keep and adapt the original frame. No car for me. And no Chevy engine. Keep it Ford.

This is the general idea I want. Now, this isn't completely road legal in the state of PA (which is what I want it to be), but that will only take a few tweaks.

Hey all, I was thinking about sometime in the future building a truck from the ground up. Might not happen for a few years, but I'm planning my project now. I'm thinking of taking a Ford Bonus Built (F-1) and going rat rod. The idea is to make it light weight, low, and fast. A dirt road racer...

Here's a picture of the way the truck looked before I started work. I am out of town right now without the truck and cant take any pictures in it's present condition, but this will tell you enough

Just so everyone gets the drift, I am working on the 92 Ranger. Not looking for another truck. The Ranger. That's it. I asked people's opinion on what to do to the Ranger. Not what I should replace it with. It's not happening. I'm keeping my truck.

I was thinking about trying to modify an old 30s or 40s body to fit what I've got. But it is nothing but a nagging thought at this moment

Hey all, I'm Dan. I own a 92 Ford Ranger. I know, it's a little newer than most rat rods. But I have heard of plenty of newer vehicles being "ratrodized." I am planning on doing a little work to my ranger, but what would you guys do to it? It is a 1992 Ford Ranger XLT supercab, 2WD.
